Hi John,
The rule that was being triggered by Modsecurity was #981257 (Detects MySQL comment -/space - obfuscated injections and backtick termination)
To try and get past this, I disabled #981257 and now get blocked by rule #981245....
Detects basic SQL authentication bypass attempts 2/3

I hope this helps.
